Awards

The Cups of Appreciation are awarded annually during our celebration of International Housekeeping and Environmental Services Week, which is held during the second week of September.

Throughout the month of July, staff submit nominations by providing a co-worker’s name and three reasons they are nominating them for the awards. A final ballot is then distributed for final voting during August. 

For each award category, the employee who receives the most votes will receive a “Cup of Appreciation”. All nominees will receive a certificate. The three winners will receive an engraved “Cup of Appreciation”.
